The Dream Thread

[Reaper]

There was some sort of technology virus that turned people into brainless mutant cyborgs. I infiltrated a base and downloaded some codes that were supposed to help those infected. After that, all the tech zombies began to follow me around. I had to leave through a long tunnel, and as I was walking through the tunnel I saw more tech zombies coming toward me, but then they just fell onto the ground, unmoving as I approached.

Suddenly the tunnel turned very dark and the end of it seemed endlessly far away. I watched as the zombie people slowly turned into amorphous black blobs and sort of melted into the floor. My environment was quickly fading into a vast abyss, with the end of the tunnel barely visible at all anymore. By this point I was completely lucid and thought "If I'm dreaming, I should be able to just fly out of this place", and I willed myself to fly but nothing happened.

I then decided to wake up by opening my eyes. When I opened my eyes my bedroom was filled with bright, reddish-golden light. It was extremely beautiful but I knew it was the middle of the night and there was no logical explanation for the light. I then felt weightless and the room started to spin a bit, and I realized I had come out of my body. I shut my eyes, plopped back into it and opened them again, and the room was dark once more, though the echoes of strange shapes were dancing in front of my eyes in the darkness.

I've seen that beautiful light one other time before, in another dream. It elicits feelings within me that I don't know how to explain...perhaps "homesickness" is the best way to describe it.
